FARMERS’ BOYS.
There is a native manliness and in
dependent nobility about farmers’ boys
that is rarely ever witnessed in those
who grow up in cities. The city boy
may be more polished and a little
quicker with his mother tongue, but
sound him and you will find that he
has not the depth of mind or the man
liness of character that are generally
possessed by the hardy country boy.
The latter is Nature’s child, be is
strong, fearless and independent; his
faculties are healthy and active, and he
readily masters the lessons that are
spread out so abundantly around him.
He studies the works and beauties of
Nature, and being unhampered by the
rules of conventionality, he seeks the
natural course of things he does not
understand, depending upon himself
for the solution of his most difficult
problems; thus he becomes self-reliant,
common sense and practical, and when
he goes out into the world he deals
with men on those principles. He un
derstands human nature, too, as he
has learned it from his own disposi
tion aud his keen observation of the
conduct of other people, and, his com
mon sense telling him that human na
ture is and always has been the same,
he knows exactly how to approach
men when he wishes to gain his pur
pose.
The greatest men of every calling
and all ages have been farmers’ sons
and they wilt be until the end of time;
and the secret of tl« ir i-uco ss is iheir
<-elf i\liunce, united with industrious,
tern pet &te hanits. Ihe) have ini. bet
the lime or the means to study the
sciences and fine arts, but they learn
that which is vastly more beneficial to
them in the hard battle* of life.
There is a still brighter future for
f.rmers’ boys. The great improve
ments that have been made in farm
ing implements do away with a large
portion of the be;.vv, dis gteeable 1:-

STACKING GRAIN.
Bad stacking is the cause of most of
the really damaged grain iu the mar
ket. To stack well, follow these di
rections :
Lay your stack on as level ground
as it is possible to find, say on the top
of a little bill, which top is generally
flat. Commence in the middle, set
ting up the bundles as for a “ shock;’’
build all around until you get as large
a bottom as is desired. Now com
mence on the outside, layiug, having
the butts of the bundles about even
with the bottom, or a little further out
if the grain is damp. When this row
of Lhe first row, and so ou until you
get filled up. If you find the middle
getting too full, lay them iu a little
further. Here let me caution all
against filling up the middle of the
stack with loose or broken bundles;
if you have such, bind them up, or lay
them on the outside, for the middle of
the stack must be solid. Don’t walk
any further toward the outside of the
stack than is really necessary. When
you come to topping out the stack, be
careful to keep the middle well filled
up aud the outside as even as you can;
but mind you don’t get as much us
one bundle with the heads the lowest;
if such places occur, lay some bundles
on the inside, filling up the hollow be
fore laying the outside ones, for one
bundle pitching the wrong way often
lets in a great deal of water. Ia fin
ishing, when you have no more middle
to till, keep in a centre, laying a bun
dle whereever the butt will be the low
est, until completely topped out.
Force a long, nicely trimmed stake
down iuto the stack to keep the wind
from bio -iug off' the lop, — R. S. in

How to Select Flour.— Look at the
color; if it is white with a slightly yel
lowish or stru w-colored tint, buy it ,
if it is very white witfi a bluish cast,
or with white specks iu it, refuse it.
Examine its adhesiveness; wet and
knead a little of it between your fin
gers; if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Throw a little lump of dry
flour against a dry, smooth, perpen
dicular surface; if it falls like powder,
it is bud.
Lemons, sprinkled with loaf sugar,
completely allay feverish thirst, and
are, therefore, invaluable in a sick
room. Invalids with feverishnes, can
safely consume two or three lemons a
day.
